Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.
  2. Be nice and respectful.

TranscriptA tweet saying "Six Male Personalities Of Modern Men Explained: (which one are you?) Read the thread. " It has a picture of some of these, the first one is "alpha male".It has a cartoonish picture of a guy in a suit. The next is "Beta male". This shows a person wearing a blazer, with a sneer on their face. The one after this is "Delta Male". This shows a guy in a plain white t-shirt. Next is a "Gamma male" It shows a guy in a red-and-black striped tshirt, with long hair. The next one is an "Omega Male" It shows a person with short black hair, glasses and suspenders." The last one is a "Sigma male" It shows a guy with sunglasses and a leather jacket."

a fiercely independent, self-reliant man who lives outside traditional social hierarchies. Often idealized as a "lone wolf," a sigma operates quietly without seeking social validation, functioning as a counterpart to the traditional, assertive "alpha"

Married with 2 daughters here, feminist, vegan, anarchist and I threaten the traditional macho loud alpha type because I don’t see the hierarchy or participate in it which starves them of validation or something which unfortunately makes them focus on me more. Idk I’m just in my own wee world (AuADHD) and think it’s all dumb, but not afraid to tell anyone they’re being daft or give them a slap if needed.

Plenty of pals. Had 12 groomsmen, I guess doing things like being the only person to jump in when one of my pals got attacked offsets the aloofness/weirdness. (Everyone else just sat and watched while I fought off 2 guys at once)
